Accepted Answer

Installing `wkhtmltopdf`

on Ubuntu Linux machine

First check os is 32 bit or 64 bit by using following command

Try `uname -m`. It seems like the `uname -m` actually gives x86_64 when it is an kernel 64 bits

Run following command

```
sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev libxrender-dev
```

Then run following command

```
sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
```

Based on OS download wkhtmltopdf package from following site

http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list

OR

```
wget http://wkhtmltopdf.googlecode.com/files/wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
```

(wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2 is a stable release for wkhtmltopdf )

Then extract using command

```
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.9.9-static-i386.tar.bz2
```

Then move extracted DIR to usr/local/bin folder

```
sudo mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
```

Check wkhtmltopdf is install or not using following command
